On documents pertaining to properties would the personal guarantee provide protection to us as a lender?

A: A personal guarantee is an important protection and I would almost always require one as a lender. However, it needs to be drafted properly and in conjunction with the other loan documents. There are specific Arizona statutes on this issue, and they must be followed, or the guarantee could be worthless.
